.SH "DESCRIPTION" 
.PP 
This manual page documents briefly the 
\fBxorp_rtrmgr\fR command. 
.PP 
This manual page was written for the \fBDebian\fP distribution 
because the original program does not have a manual page. 
.PP 
\fBxorp_rtrmgr\fR is the program that that manages the whole 
eXtensible Open Router Platform (XORP) platform. The program loads its 
configuration file (commonly named \fBconfig.boot\fP)  
which will read from the current working directory You can specify a 
different filename for the configuration file using the \fB-b\fP     command line flag. The \fB-N\fP "no execute" flag will cause 
\fBxorp_rtrmgr\fR to startup and pretend the router is operating 
normally, but to not actually start any processes. This can be used to 
check configuration files. 
 
.PP 
Typically \fBxorp_rtrmgr\fR must be run as root. This is 
because it starts up processes that need privileged access to insert routes 
into the forwarding path in the kernel. 
.PP 
To interact with the router via the command line interface, the 
operator should use the XORP command shell 
\fBxorpsh\fR.
